At the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Professor José Felipe Alvergue is on leave following an incident where he allegedly disrupted a Republican event supporting Brad Schimel. The incident, captured on video, has led to calls for his dismissal from conservative circles. University officials expressed their commitment to free speech and civil dialogue on campus and stated that an investigation is underway. Interim provost Michael Carney emphasized the importance of maintaining a space for diverse opinions and peaceful engagement in the learning environment.
"I am deeply concerned that our students' peaceful effort to share information on campus on election day was disrupted... Civil dialogue is a critical part of the university experience."
"Outrageous. Yet sadly what many conservatives students deal with every day on so many campuses."
"The university remains committed to ensuring that campus is a place where a wide variety of opinions and beliefs can be shared and celebrated."
"Campus officials are working with the Universities of Wisconsin system... conducting a comprehensive investigation of this matter."
